Losing fat but can't drop weight - General

I've recently noticed I'm a fat mess that needs to lose weight, so I started going to the gym and following a strict diet since the end of December. When I started I was 111 kilos and after the first week I was 106. I'm now in week 4 and I'm still 106 although I feel a lot slimmer and my friends and family tell me that as well. I noticed I've put on a fair bit of muscle but don't think that it's possible that I've put on enough muscle weight to counter my fat weight. The thing is that I've got a medical on Wednesday and as of right now my bmi is 34.4 and I'm going to fail if I can't get some weight off. I'm going to start running tomorrow to get it off but I find it strange that I'm staying the same weight with all my dieting etc. Has anyone here encountered this or know why it's happening?

Eat less calories. Also usually, the weight you'll lose in the first few weeks will be all liquid weight, all the excess liquid hanging around in your body will be sweated out and will usually result in a very quick weight loss, I've lost over 20 lbs in like 2-3 weeks when I first started working out. Once that quick weight loss stops, the pace will be much slower because it'll be actual fat you're burning. Aim for about 1-2 lbs of weight loss a week now that you're past the initial water weight loss. If you're not losing shit, you're either not working hard enough, not eating good enough or a combination of both. Can you tell me your age, height and weight and possibly your nutrition plan? Also what kind of routine you do and stuff like that.

I'm 20, 5'9 and 106kg. I'll have an apple and some nuts for breakfast, preworkout shake and then protein shake afterwards, then chicken, broccoli and brown rice for dinner and some cashews a bit later on. I go to the gym and I push myself hard, but I don't do cardio although I am going to now.

How much calories does your diet have in total? Also keep that diet for a week or two, see if you lost any weight, if not that means you're eating too much calories and you'll have to cut back on them a bit until you get that weight loss you're looking for.

It could be a number of reasons More than likely its just water weight fluctuation. Glycogen retention increases when you're exercising. Give it another week before you make adjustments.

weigh yourself at the same time every single time. the best time would be as soon as you wake up and after youve taken a piss. this will mean fluctuations due to water won't have that much of an effect on your readings.

weigh yourself before and after you take a shit too. might help seeing your poop water retention percentage

What's your sleep pattern look like? I know for some people it can be more important than others to watch the way you sleep.

Kind of late ^ OP how's your progress?
